I may not be reading the results right, but I thought I'd post it here in case anyone had seen this (or could explain what I'm seeing).

I currently use Groupwise at work, and have been having some stability/corruption problems recently. In order to try and "catch" the offending program/process, I ran filemon (available from microsoft) on the Groupwise data directory. After filtering out expected entries, I noticed that Sciral Consistency was opening groupwise data files. This seemed really odd to me, as it should not do any file reads except for it's own .consis files.

There is no reason Consistency should be doing that. Do you know if this is happening only when the program starts? The output from filemon you provided indicates this only is happening for a short time period (a couple of seconds).

We have been unable to duplicate this problem here using Process Monitor (the successor to filemon). Analysis of the code shows that Consistency does not perform directory scans.

Could you locate the file "consistency.exe" on your system and determine its file size by right-clicking on the file's icon and selecting "Properties"? I want to be sure you have the right version of the program.

I haven't been able to duplicate it either. I've tried starting one, then the other, and a multitude of other scenarios. It occurred when I let filemon run for 24 hours. I'll keep watching and post any updates.
